Can you alter build prop through Root Explorer? I'm at work now, can't get to my PC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kireol:
Any help with my remaining issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vgamer4550:
I just had this happen again. This time I was opening up the Amazon App (not the appstore) and I was having trouble loading it do to the fact that the Wifi at my work is horrible and I constantly have to turn off then on Wifi again to get it to reconnect.

So the phone was sitting there trying to load, I then tried to turn off Wifi as I usually do when the phone froze up and just completely rebooted. Not a launcher reboot but a completely off then on.

Again, I have only had this particular problem since Blazer 1.2. The rom has been great otherwise and since it is only a very random occurrence and the phone resets pretty quickly (unlike my OG Evo 4G) its not a huge deal. But would be nice to have fixed in a future update.

Keep up the great work Phantom.

sorry fell asleep in my chair holding my phone lol. you have to have the pro version to be able to use the profile tab. as far as voltages i leave alone unless im using tegrak with a stock kernel then i use calkulins built in settings on tegrak. you might have to have the pro version to be able to use his. just be careful when you mess with voltages make sure you have a nandroid back up because you can throw your phone into boot loops.

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

I use set cpu when running rouges deperado kernel and tegraks when running a stock kernel.

set cpu

1200 max 800 min set on interactive when running 3d games and lazy with normal use.

screen off profile 800 max 500 min set on conservative

i dont mess with voltages unless im running a bone stock kernel then i use tegtak with calkulins voltage profiles. i think you have to have the pro version to do so but im not sure. my battery last all day under heavy use under normal use im not sure what i would get because im a very heavy user lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] starnostar:
I have always let it try and install and have never once had a problem.....

OTA updates interface with the stock recovery (tell it what to do and what to flash), if you aren't using the stock recovery (if you are using a kernel with CWM) then it won't work (much the same way rom manager interfaces with CWM....if your running a RA or stock recovery.....it isn't going to work) and you'll get stuck at the android /triangle screen.....hold the power button down and it will kick you back into CWM, clear your cache (where the OTA update is stored) and your back in your rom with no update notification...The OS thinks it was successful until it checks again, and you can freeze the update-checker.

I already updated to EL13,but since I gotta finish my disable OTA guide, I'll downgrade to EG31 or whatever and make a video of this when I get home.

Now if they send an OTA that uses something like Mobile-Odin, then yes....accepting the OTA would be bad, but so far all OTA updates rely on the stock recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
I odined back to stock installed the update re rooted did a nandroid back up of the updated factory rom then nandroid back to this rom and i havent had it pop up one time its been 2 days so i cant say this is 100% but it was showing up every 5 mins. it took me all of 8mins to do this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Any chance of getting a walkthough on how to do this? I've never messed with that file before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] starnostar:
I ran blazer 1.0 for over a week with no OTA update notification....

Let it try and install, clear cache in CWM, and when the phone starts back up, immediately disable OTA update checks

# pm disable com.samsung

...it didn't bother me about it again

EDIT - and yes, my disable OTA guide will include a build-prop methods, its just not easy to explain without screenshots
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] houseofkrazeesstl:
I assume I can use ADB Shell to do this?

EDIT: EZ as pie to do, hope it doesn't come back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipsedrag:
Does this ROM affect screen brightness? Like to save battery or something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] houseofkrazeesstl:
huh? I do not understand your question
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] starnostar:
Yup, but it's easier to just use terminal emulator, just make sure to give it root (hence the # instead of a $)

And as long as you didn't have an OTA notification, it should be fine, freezing this app disables update checks but does not get rid of the notification...I'm assuming that this package just passes a message onto the system which handles it from there.

Keep in mind this also disables PRL/profile updates, you'll need to unfreeze it before you update those

# pm enable com.samsung

This method has worked on every phone I have tried it on (the package may be different per phone), with the exception of the thunderbolt and newer HTC phones, which handle updates differently...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
if we want to do a prl update or profile update will we have to re enable com.samsung
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipsedrag:
Sorry, auto correct didn't like the word "ROM" and changed it to from... lol. My question was if this ROM had a built in setting to change the screen brightness automatically to save battery... i ask because no matter how many times i change the brightness of the screen it dims down as soon as i turn it off... then when i turn the screen back on its a little to dark for my taste and i have to readjust the brightness again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] starnostar:
Unfortunately....all methods have their drawbacks

With this method you need to unfreeze com.samsung to update PRL/profile, and maybe even let to think the update installed (by installing it) and letting it fail

With the build-prop method, you will need to edit the build prop with every official OTA so it doesn't bother you

Or....you could just follow the latest official OTA via the latest roms, which tend to have more bugs than, say a current EG31 rom

Any way we do it (disable the OTAs) it can be a tad inconvenient....

I don't know if this is possible or not (worth a shot), but someone could tear apart com.samsung.apk (im gurssing they dont give out the source for this) or run everything through a loopback interface and wireshark it, or maybe catch an OTA check In a logicat and see if that gives any info.... find the ip/domain it connects to to check for updates, and somehow block that internally (given this part of the system might bypass the /etc/hosts file completely)...again, I don't know if any of this is remotely possible, just brainstorming....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Dude....It's never a good idea to tell someone with a rooted phone to just try to install a pushed system update. Changing one line in build.prop is alot easier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
So feel like offering a quick walkthrough? *winks*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] starnostar:
If you don't have a stock recovery...it won't work, I have no idea how this myth came about or why it keeps perpetuating.

People see the android/triangle screen and freak out...think they broke something by accepting, when it's really just the system telling you "this'um here recovery ain't working, wtf am I supposed to do now?"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
It's easy...

Just open Root Explorer and go to system/build.prop, then open it with text editor and edit this line:

ro.build.version.release=2.3.4

Then save changes and power phone completely off...then back on (hot reboot won't work).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
I thought about going to CM7 but quickly changed my mind. As of right now, this is the most superior ROM for the E4GT with the most support. Anyone who hasn't tried it, you've simply got to - it's slick as hell and no bugs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
K, I tried this and saved the changes, but it reverts itself to 2.3.4 and i get tge update notification again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Did you reboot your phone? I think you need to for the change to take effect. I did, got the update notification upon boot up, declined it, and haven't seen it since. Android version shows at 2.3.6 after reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
It's a little early to be talking about which is better since CM7 is still in Alpha...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
I redid it and it worked. As soon as I rebooted, got an update notification, but I cleared it, so we'll see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
i did this and rebooted and it still says 2.3.6 the update popped up i cleared so we will see.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

do i need to put droid fart or any other word after the 2.3.6 lol or can you just leave it at 2.3.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
LOL. I have to think that's something he added in for fun.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
lmao ok it worked this process should have a post it took me 3 sec to do it and i know it worked because it was popping up every 5 min and i havent seen it since. plus this way still alows you to update profile and prl.

Which modem is better for this rom EK02 or EL13? I'm currently running EK02 modem. For anyone who has tried both let me know!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sportsplayer5959:
May i ask what the main differences are between this and starburst? I debating whether i should switch or not
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
Switch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Speed. No hotreboots. Ics touches.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vgamer4550:
Hey, great work Phantom/Serious. I just jumped over from Starburst and I gotta say speed is greatly improved here on Blazer.

One major issue I'm having though, and one I had off and on on Starburst is that my touch screen is all over the place.

It seems I most when scrolling and holding my finger down... The screen starts to jitter and my typing is horrible cause my button presses are not registering... Sometimes they are dayed, sometimes in the complete wrong spot.

Anyone else with a similar issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
are you charging your phone and also using it at the same time?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vgamer4550:
Wow, that didn't occur to me, I unplugged it and it response much better, but the jitters isn't completely gone.

I have had this issue actually most of the way through my use on Starburst. It has come and gone though.. In fact it became most pronounced again after upping to Starburst 1.9...

If anymore info would help, let me know what I can get for everyone...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
Hey Phantom, I went it and changed the color on the sync icons and down/upload icons to match the blue and put it in a flashable zip if you want me to post it? Seen someone mention they were green and thought I would re-do them until you got around to it unless you wanted it like that.

Thanks for the input. Which modem has less LOS? I wanna get more reactions for the EL13 before I decide to try it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Going by that the newer one. I haven't had one since I flashed it. But. Then again I've only ran it for like a day or so. However long its been available to us.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thank Me Later:
EK02 modem is nice. Better than stock that's for sure. I still get a little LOS but it returns quicker to available signal. I might give this EL13 a try, gonna wait for more responses about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipsedrag:
I thought they were the same thing? What's the difference between them? Is EL13 listed in the "about phone" are
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thank Me Later:
Eff it. I just flashed EL13. So far it's steady on 3 signal bars. EK02 was up and down with it. I had to try it since it's new. I will see how it is at work tomorrow since I get the most LOS in a certain area in the building. It's an area I am often in while working. When I was on stock modem it killed my battery crazy, I had to put my phone in airplane mode.

I'll report back my experience as to which modem works better for me. EK02 or EL13.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

They are different modems. I don't know the differences yet but I'm trying it so I'll let you guys know what differences with the 2 modems are for me. Yes, it should be in your about phone if you flashed it right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I've been working on a battery mod with no % for hours and for some reason it's not working. I just get the unkown battery status icon. :confused:

I swapped out all of the PNGs in framework-res.apk and made sure the new ones were 22 X 38 (stock size). Flashable zip update path is correct also. I'm 99.9%sure I packed it correctly too. I'm stumped on this one. I uploaded the zip if anyone want's to take a look.

EDIT: I think it's the battery fill XML file in drawable (battery_charge_fill). I need to decompile it....edit....then recompile back to binary. Anyone know of a good XML editor?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srgwidowmaker:
EL13 gave me better signal by 1 or 2 bars. Also more wifi signal range
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
If I'm not mistaken, signal bars are a graphical representation by the OS. Is the signal strength actually improved?

So far I've had full bars or 3 bars. This rom only rocks 4 signal bars so I consider that pretty darn good.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thank Me Later:
I also love the battery percentage mod. It saves the trouble to go into the about phone section. But I can also understand some people not liking it. It can make you worry lol. I don't like charging my phone unless it's minimal 20% or lower anyways.

After having EG31 and now EK02 I'm not sure about flashing another modem until its released.

The speed test was flawed. Speeds change within 10 minutes with sprint 3g. The YouTube video shows a 30 minute difference between modems.

Not at all conclusive...

Im going to be trying this one out as well... i am a huge fan of 2.0 and im sure the beta will be nice! cant wait for some themes and final products with this new EL13!

Tis a beautiful thing, very smooth. Cleared cache and dalvik and flashed right over. Left system and data alone.(coming from 2.0)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
didn't catch that, flashing 2.0 then beta, thanks

yes, MUST have 2.0 installed

I know you have had not time to theme, so far it's looking pretty good (would love to see all the blue goodness brought in to this)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
everything is very smooth, even with launcherpro which is not necessarily the smoothest at times. scrolling is very responsive to touch. however i am seeing very low benchmarks. I dont really care as long as everything is butter, but they are pretty low(2700-3100). wonder what it is. Gonna re-flash Rogue el13 kernel and see if it shakes things up...

Edit: seems like it might be a kernel issue. The el13 stock kernel has given a few others in the rogue forum lower benchmarks. gonna just run with it for now(prob already on the rogue stock kernel anyway).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Possibly due to kernel, not sure. Doesn't really mean anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
I know, just wasn't sure if it was worth mentioning for any reason, knew it would come up at some point on here :) lovin it so far, cant wait for theme options either. might try to mess around a little myself if I can pull the framework files correctly from the EL13 rom

like the new screen orientation animation, little easter egg with the update(or at least I think it changed...)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asbjörn:
Is it because the rogue stock kernel uses the lazy governor by default? Is that what's causing the lower benchmark scores (not that it matters)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schnergun:
downloaded blazer 2.0. says there is a update. should I download it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rob4828:

So, when I tried to go into recovery I hit the download button instead of recovery on accident and now my phone is sitting on "downloading...do not turn off target"

What is that???

PH said earlier in the thread that he's going to make the ROM have more of a stock look, then package up a few themes for it, including the blue ICS theme, so people have more choice.

What did you wipe? Your suppose to wipe cache and delvik cache only
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
You're in ODIN (aka Download) mode. As long as you're not actively using ODIN or Heimdall on your computer to flash anything to your phone you're safe to do a battery pull, put the battery back in and boot holding the Up volume key. It will go through the Samsung logo twice and you'll be in Recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire118:
I did that my first go around while on blazer 2.0..it actually soft bricked my phone..i had to odin a tar then i just got root nd try to install it directly without flashing 2.0..I get to animation screen but no further...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Def not just a kernel issue alone. Just flashed the rogue EK02 kernel for a run, no better. Both kernels show higher than usual battery usage in battery stats to(badass battery moniter) like 85%. Think somethings up. Things are smooth by battery is going down. Will give it 36 hours before I make judgement, just first impressions. I'll assume its something on my end first
